New York, NY, March 15, 2024 — Bilt Rewards, the nation's leading loyalty program that rewards consumers on rent and neighborhood spend, is thrilled to announce a landmark partnership with Alaska Airlines.

This collaboration marks an expansion of Bilt's rewards ecosystem, allowing members to earn points on rent payments and neighborhood spend, including restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores, and then transfer these points on a 1:1 basis into Alaska miles, redeemable for flights on Alaska Airlines and its extensive network of oneworld partners.

The two companies announced they will also be launching an unprecedented offer later this year exclusively for Alaska Airlines cardholders. When using an Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® card to pay rent through Bilt, cardholders will earn triple Alaska miles—3 miles for every dollar spent on rent, up to $50,000 annually. This innovative offering is the first of its kind in the airline loyalty world, designed specifically to reward Alaska’s loyal cardholders on their largest monthly expenditure. 

Bilt Rewards CEO, Ankur Jain, commented on the partnership, stating, "From the Northwestern tip of Alaska to the most southeastern point of Florida, at Bilt we want to continuously reward our members no matter where they live in the United States.

"As one of the most loved brands in aviation, this first-of-its-kind partnership with Alaska Airlines not only broadens Bilt's members’ ability to travel everywhere Alaska and its partners fly but also exemplifies our commitment to providing Americans with more valuable ways to earn and redeem rewards on their largest monthly expense, rent, and within their local neighborhood.”

"This innovative new partnership with Bilt will enable our guests who rent to get even more value from their Alaska Visa Signature card and builds upon our industry-leading loyalty offering,” said Brett Catlin, vice president, loyalty, alliances and sales. “Our guests can use their miles for travel on Alaska and our oneworld and additional Global Partners to 1,000+ destinations across the world."  

This partnership represents a significant step forward in loyalty rewards, offering unparalleled value and opportunities for members of both Bilt Rewards and Alaska Airlines.
